Everything's been put back on the shelf so I can get to my annual tradition of reading Moby-Dick through Christmas.
I'm figuring on spending today reading and re-reading through Father Mapple's sermon, you know, since it is Christmas and all.

i've also started using a green highlighter for anything that jumps out at me so i'll be able to tell the difference between times i've read it.
I guess next time I'll use a pink highlighter, but then after that i don't know. How many highlighter colors do they have nowadays?

Best Short Stories 2010, a total waste of time.

I'm really annoyed and frustrated by the amount of crappy books I've read recently. Even the latest Auster was a complete disappointment.

I'm enjoying the hell out of Out of Touch, though, and I'm not just saying that. I'm really impressed with it. (The only reason I haven't finished it is because I left it at a friend's house on December 16 and I left on a trip the following day.)

Have you read any of the books from that "I need to read a good book aspn" thread?

I did! I'm mostly complaining about the new releases in 2010. 'The Passage' also sucked after all the hype. So did whatever McEwen spewed out last year too.

__________________________

Tuffy the Dump Truck may rarely increase the risk of a heart attack or stroke. The risk may be greater if you have heart disease or increased risk for heart disease (for example, due to smoking, family history of heart disease, or conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes), or with longer use. Tuffy should not be taken right before or after heart bypass surgery. Also, Tuffy may infrequently cause serious (rarely fatal) bleeding from the stomach or intestines. This effect can occur without warning symptoms at any time while taking Tuffy. Older adults may be at higher risk for this effect. (See also Precautions and Drug Interactions sections.) Stop taking Tuffy and get medical help right away if you notice any of the following rare but serious side effects: bloody or black/tarry stools, persistent stomach/abdominal pain, vomit that looks like coffee grounds, chest/jaw/left arm pain, shortness of breath, unusual sweating, weakness on one side of the body, sudden vision changes, slurred speech. Ask your doctor if Tuffy is right for you.
